Meanwhile, the Palestinian Authority-affiliated Fatah has accused Hamas of carrying out the looting and then blaming it on “armed gangs” in order to have an excuse to crack down on the residents of Gaza and reimpose Hamas control of the Strip.
Former Gaza residents and online critics of Hamas have also corroborated accounts of the group violently enforcing its rule in the enclave.
Palestinian activist Amjad Abu Koush, who is a supporter of the Palestinian Authority, uploaded a video in Arabic accusing Hamas of carrying out the operations, saying that only Hamas has the weapons and means to carry out the large-scale raids, which included many men wear scarves over their faces, carrying Kalashnikovs (a type of automatic rifle) and driving large vehicles.
The looting came amidst several anti-Hamas demonstrations in the Gaza Strip, complaining of the lack of food and blaming Hamas for the situation.
Those anti-Hamas in Gaza should be come bigger, but we must understand it is also very dangerous to do it.
